Early Postinjury Enteral Nutrition: Does it make a Difference?

  • Conference paper
Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine

Part of the book series: Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((YEARBOOK,volume 1996))

Abstract

Over the past two decades, clinical studies have provided convincing evidence that early nutritional support benefits metabolically stressed surgical patients by preventing acute protein malnutrition [1–6]. However, the optimal route of substrate delivery (i.e. enteral versus parenteral) continues to be debated [7–10]. Recent basic and clinical investigation offers the exciting possibility that the beneficial effects of traditional nutritional support can be amplified by supplementing specific nutrients that exert pharmacological immune-enhancing effects [11–18]. The purpose of this chapter is to review our studies that address these two issues.
